Learning Track Templates

A Learning Track Template is used to make a blueprint or template of a training program or learning track. After creating and publishing a learning track template, it can be used to assign a learning track to an individual learner or to a class of learners.

A learning track consists of one or more assignments. Each assignment has:

A name;
Content: one or more courses and/or activities;
A start date after which the assignment is accessible for the learner;
A due date (optional) before which the assignment needs to be finished.

When creating a template of a learning track, you will not use absolute dates (e.g. March 5th), but relative dates (e.g. Day 1). This enables you to start the learning track template at any date, after which the relative dates will be converted to absolute dates.

Creating a template

Within the Content area click on Learning Track Templates in the sidemenu on the left. Then click on Create and write the name of your template. You'll be directed to the following page:

Assignment

A list of all assignments in the track template is shown on the left hand side. When you click on an assignment, its details will appear on the right. In this window you can make changes to the assignment or remove it.
